It works that way in boxing and I'm pretty sure it is the same in MMA.
He knew he wasn't going to fight so he asked to not be taped. He figured tape was not needed for dancing and running.
The Spider is one hell of a runner, in that fourth frame he must have ran two miles. The third frame he ran a lot too but in the fourth and fifth he really covered some ground.

It's really odd that nobody picked up on this.
You've got to have your gloves tapped because the edging on the velcrow could in fact stop a fight. It might not seem like much but if your struck on the right angle it could cause one nasty cut.
The edging of the glove where the velcrow is, is sharp and reason number one why it's suppose to be tapped.

According to Stitch's twitter it was a screw up on the part of the officials. Someone in the back forgot to check his tape.

Yeah something is up there because the Tape is placed on by an official and then signed to show that the gloves have been checked to show they are useable within the guidelines provided and havent been tampered with in any way.

It can be very sharp indeed bro.I know this one for a fact
Didn't stop the fight but it fucked up my face pretty good for a week or two.
That's the main reason behind tapping gloves, other then that it's to distinguish what corner your in.

Anderson "the spider" Silva is mesmerizing to watch, kinda like how that guy walked across water and turned it to wine after-wards.
